Purebred Animal Requirements

All offspring will only be verified to inspected purebreds. To keep these as registered seedstock, please email photos or videos of ALL sides of the animal to info@akaushi.com. Once inspected, they will become registered. To check if this affects any of your animals, please go to DigitalBeef and look for prefix UAP.
